UC Graduate
Studies Catalog 2019-2023 Section XIV Government and International Relations Programs |
|
The Techo Sen School of Government and International Relations (TSS), as an integral part of The University of Cambodia, is dedicated to the development and training of leaders and researchers to work in Cambodia, ASEAN and international organizations. Graduates of the School can find productive careers in the civil and diplomatic services, domestic and multinational corporations, and regional and international organizations like the ASEAN Secretariat, Asian Development Bank, The World Bank, The International Monetary Fund and the United Nations and its agencies.
The Techo Sen
School provides international standard, both graduate and undergraduate levels,
non-partisan education and research. Its programs and research initiatives are
designed for carefully chosen and highly motivated candidates who are starting
their careers or have advanced to positions of higher responsibility in their
chosen vocations. As a learning-centered institution, the School provides a
unique and challenging educational environment which blends theory and practice
with critical thinking and research skills for strategic and sound public
policy and corporate decision making. It will enable leaders to navigate
through the many challenges in a rapidly changing technology driven world. The
academic programs have been designed to enable graduate students to examine and
discuss political, cultural, business and technical ideas and issues.
At the end of their programs, they would have acquired creative and innovative
approaches with requisite skills, attitudes and knowledge and ethical and moral
values required for success in their respective fields. In that way, they can
make significant and lasting contributions to society. They become leaders in
political, economic and social development.
The Techo Sen
School is also a policy think tank which undertakes research on Cambodia. It
also provides consulting, policy advisory and market and economic research
services to the public and private sectors and organizes corporate
briefing and international conferences on issues relevant to Cambodia and
ASEAN.
The Techo Sen School of Government and International Relations offers the
following Master and Doctoral Degree Programs:
Note that the Bridging course requirements for the last two program differ from the others (see Section XIV.7).
Cambodia has been playing an increasingly important role
in political and other matters in the region and beyond, and this is set to be
increasingly so with the formation of the ASEAN Community in 2015. As one of
its ten Member States, Cambodia needs to be actively involved in ensuring that
its voice is heard; and also, to obtain full benefits through promoting
awareness and understanding of ASEAN within Cambodia, including the business
opportunities and how to avoid potential pit-falls.
This major comprises two concentrations for both Master's and Doctoral degree
programs.
- One is in Business,
which includes courses related to how Cambodia must adapt to take best
advantage of the evolving business environment.
- The other is in the Social
Sciences, which focuses on the implications for the government, in
terms of policy and other implications, together with the need to promote
public awareness.
The following indicates the component courses for the
Business concentration, with those taken instead by the Social Science
concentration indicated in brackets.
(a) The following program structure applies for existing Master's students, based on a previous MoEYS directive (see Section VIII.3).

* Alternative courses taken for the Social Science concentration.
This program is
designed to provide students with an understanding of processes and
institutions for peacefully resolving disputes in both the public and the
private sector, with an emphasis on practical rather than theoretical aspects.
It aims to provide advanced training and qualification to prospective students
who would like to work in diplomacy or negotiation especially in the field of
external relations, as a very dynamic and diverse section as well as in an
international/multicultural environment or to those who already do it and would
like to enhance their skills.

As civilization evolves, the
relationships between countries are becoming ever more complex. This is
especially so with the rapid expansion of globalization which is taking place
as a result of faster and increasingly sophisticated information technology
(IT) systems. The situation is further complicated by a return to religious
fundamentalism in many parts of the world.
This program is designed to provide students with an understanding of how
nations interact with each other. This is with particular reference to
Cambodia's present situation as one nation in the world at large; how this has
been affected by the past; and the possible implications for the future.

The Public Administration program
provides students with an in-depth understanding of general public management;
and thus, prepares them to take responsible positions in governmental
organizations.
Reflecting the common underlying principles for efficient organization and
management, students doing this program attend the same core courses as those
doing an MBA in the Tony Fernandes School of Business (this also maximizes the
graduate's flexibility when it comes to developing their careers); thus, they
must first pass the requisite bridging courses where they do not have
sufficient background. Thereafter, students do work which is designed to give
them relevant insights into the particular problems associated with the routine
running of the public sector and the rational implementation of policies.
